BENEFITS OF INFRARED SAUNA

 

Floating is one of the safest and most effective ways to activate your body’s natural relaxation response and enhance overall well-being. Research continues to show that floatation therapy supports physical recovery, mental clarity, and emotional health.

This high-salinity float pod supports your body completely, reducing pressure on your joints and muscles while quieting your mind. Each float session includes your own shower, hair dryers, and a calming atmosphere that encourages peace and reflection.



Infrared therapy increases oxygen delivery to your muscles and tissues, supporting faster muscle recovery after workouts and helping relieve chronic pain, joint pain, and sports injuries. The warmth also reduces inflammation, alleviates stiffness, and improves flexibility.

Sweating in an infrared sauna naturally removes toxins from the body while stimulating the immune system. Deep heat exposure helps eliminate heavy metals and other impurities, promoting internal balance and overall wellness.

Infrared waves gently expand blood vessels, enhancing circulation and promoting healthier blood pressure. This improved blood flow increases nutrient delivery and supports tissue healing, giving your body a healthy, radiant glow after each sauna session.

Regular use of infrared saunas can improve skin health by increasing collagen production and oxygen flow to the skin’s surface. The gentle heat opens pores and enhances cell renewal, reducing fine lines and supporting a more youthful appearance.

Infrared heat promotes deep relaxation by soothing the nervous system and reducing stress hormones. The warm environment encourages mental calm, lifts mood, and leaves you feeling centered and recharged after each session.

As your body warms, infrared therapy raises your heart rate and metabolism — similar to light exercise — helping to burn calories and support gentle weight loss. Many guests report feeling an energy boost and improved focus after their sauna treatments.

In short: Regular infrared sauna use is a natural, effective way to achieve balance, recovery, and radiant health from the inside out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an infrared sauna?

An infrared sauna uses gentle infrared light waves to warm your body directly instead of heating the surrounding air. This deep heat promotes circulation, helps relieve stress, and supports natural detoxification, making it a favorite wellness treatment in Alexandria, VA.

How does an infrared sauna differ from a traditional sauna?

Traditional saunas heat the air to warm you, while infrared saunas use invisible infrared waves that penetrate tissues more deeply. The result is a more comfortable heat that promotes muscle recovery, improved circulation, and better skin health without feeling overwhelming.

What do I wear in the infrared sauna?

We will provide you with a towel to wrap around your body while in the sauna.

What are the main health benefits?

Infrared therapy can help reduce inflammation, ease chronic pain, support immune system health, and boost energy. It also promotes detoxification, helps manage blood pressure, and encourages better sleep and mood.

Can infrared saunas help with muscle recovery or joint pain?

Yes. The infrared heat improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles and joints, helping them heal faster after exercise or strain. Many athletes use sauna treatments to recover from sports injuries or daily body tension.

Will an infrared sauna help with weight loss?

Regular sauna use can support weight loss goals by burning calories and increasing metabolism. As your body warms, it works harder to maintain temperature — a natural and safe way to burn fat and improve energy output.

Is infrared sauna good for the skin?

Yes. Increased circulation brings more nutrients to the skin, improving tone and texture. Sweating helps clear toxins, giving you a natural glow and helping slow the aging process. Many guests notice smoother, more radiant skin with regular use.

Can infrared saunas improve mood or relieve stress?

Absolutely. The heat promotes the release of endorphins that improve mood, calm the nervous system, and relieve stress. A sauna session also helps relax the body, reduce fatigue, and improve emotional wellness.

How often should I use the infrared sauna?

Most people benefit from two to three sauna sessions per week. Regular use enhances long-term results, supporting circulation, detoxification, and muscle recovery while helping you maintain overall health and balance.

Is infrared sauna safe for everyone?

The infrared sauna is safe for most people, but anyone with heart conditions, severe high blood pressure, or medical concerns should consult a physician before use. Our team ensures each room is private, comfortable, and designed for safe infrared treatments.

Can I combine floating and sauna use?

Yes, combining float therapy with an infrared sauna session can enhance relaxation and recovery. The sauna warms the muscles and improves circulation before you float, helping you achieve a deeper, more relaxing experience.

Infrared Saunas: Why Some Like It Hotter

Meet our new Energy Healer - Lakshmi Puri

I was given the name Lakshmi from a renowned Yoga Master as a baby and grew up in a spiritual ashram near Washington D.C. I was immersed in the smells of incense, chiming bells, devotional prayers, and dedication to the healing path through practicing yoga asanas, pranayama (breath work), performing holy rituals, and repeating a mantra in meditation. 

In meditation, a whole realm unveiled itself before me involving my intuitive wisdom to work with energy and connect to a higher consciousness beyond my mental comprehension and reasoning. It felt as if I had been doing this for lifetimes. I was guided to travel to Rajasthan, India where I started working with others as a healer here while strengthening my own Divine connection being in this Motherland of Spirituality. I then returned to the States to continue practicing with people all around the world. I truly look forward to connecting with you.  Sessions available on Sunday and Mondays starting on Feb. 19th.
